Form & Verdict
Plagued with slow starts including when a never nearer fourth in a Listed race at this track last time (2m, good); she was in front of some good yardsticks on that occasion but seemed well suited by the trip so the drop back here is not sure to suit; was running well in defeat prior to her maiden victory at Cork on her penultimate start.

Both wins in August, so coming into her time of year; money for her when fourth over 1m2f here in May, and stayed on from rear when fifth in the Ladies Derby over 1m2f at the Curragh, a race won by well-backed stablemate; that run might have sweetened her up and she can reverse placings with third-placed Cooley's Mist; hampered when fourth to Tatum in last year's renewal; has won over 1m4f.
